Compressor fails when using FCP "export to Compressor"

I have a 6-minute long, ProRes422 (HQ) project that I'm trying to export uncompressed.   
I'm trying to avoid the typical "Export QuickTime Movie" function because I get awful gamma shift issues.  The colors are washed out and the image just looks like complete garbage compared to what I'm seeing in my FCP canvas.  When I export using Compressor, the issue is a lot less severe.
Now, when I export a small part of the project using Compressor at ProRes422 (HQ) settings--say, a few seconds or so--it exports just fine. 
But when I try and export the entire sequence, things get wonky.  It starts exporting and the progress bar churns along ... then the project bar goes blank and the time reads, "Unknown time remaining" ... then the progress bar starts again ... and then again, blank with "unknown time remaining."  Finally it just gives up and says, "Failed."
I have no idea what's causing this problem--but I've tried exporting to ProRes422 (HQ) 6 different times, and it has failed every time.  I've exported the same sequence to H264, using Compressor, with no problems at all. 
Thoughts?

Hi chris, have u made any progress with this? If not, then it's worth trying to isolate the problems to transcode your distribution on compressor.app?
Questions:
1) Despite your reluctance :) ,  to export a master from FCPX as part of your workflow, does FCPX render the storylines (project) out completely? And .. Then...
2) does the project play back from within FCPX to your satisfaction?
If not then determination of issues should be directed to the elements , objects and effects n transforms you used for your FCPX project composition
Else, If 100% expectation from FCPX as a above,  Then proceed to compressor And Qmaster problem determination.
As posted many times in this forum, a workflow involving a "send to compressor" from with FCPX etc, involves building a transient master to hand off to compressor.
It's possible that the compressor and Qmaster structures in your home directory are corrupt and it's very simple to fix.
And yes, FCPX CANNOT take advantage of a qmaster cluster  when submission of the transcode is made directly from FCPX.... (Old news)
So..
Look in /var/logs (console.app) for any obvious errors as well.
Check out this thread for example.. 3rd or 4th post down...(there anew many similar procedures in these forums) ..
Preserve your settings and destinations from compressor if u have than  Just clean out the Compressor and Qmaster structure... Reset Qmaster if u intend to use it.

    Well heres my story. I tried kde4 from extra the last 3 weeks and I like it. I have used xfce for the past 3 years, previous to that gnome. Tried kde but never really liked it. Now I am only using workspace, base, mutimedia and graphics.
    Here is what I like.
    1- Dolphin, awesome I have used thunar a while and it is great but I love splitview, and fish for ssh (which has been around a while I know), and the ability to mount other partitions on my hdd with a click no fstab entry or nothin'.
    2-Pretty, I've used xfce with built in compositor an love the snappiness. But I like desktop grid with kde4 and flipswitch. Compiz-fusion is cool but I prefer not to use I'll take what the DE gives. Plasmoid are cool too.
    3- Gwenview is nice too. Use to use gqview, but thumnails are nice.
    Looking forward to or lacking
    1- Keyboard shortcuts, Yes xbindkeys is there but if I have a DE I want it to do it. They just don't work now.
    2- kde4 has windows specific settings, but I can't set the opacity for particular windows , doesn't work.
    3- Ram of course is much higher in kde4, but maybe I'm getting old I just don't care as much.

  • IFCORE-1565: The Dgraph could fail when using a relevance ranking strategy.

    Hi,
    I just saw the release notes for Endeca 6.2.2 and read this bug:
    IFCORE-1565: The Dgraph could fail when using a relevance ranking strategy.
    Is there someone who could provide some more information on this bug? What is it and when does it occur? Reading the word 'could' would suggest a kind of unpredictability?
    Thanks,

    The known trigger for the bug was doing relrank on a query that contained multiple text searches.

  • Compressor jobs fail when using a 6 instance cluster

    Hello all,
    The last week or so, any file I send to Compressor and use my quick cluster with 6 instances fail. Not only does it fail it locks up my entire system!
    Does anybody know what's going on?
    Thanks

    This works great when bringing files into compressor to be converted to other formats, such as a QuickTime Movie... but, I have not had any luck trying to export this way directly from FCP. I've tried on multiple machines and I always get the error "Failed - HOST ["Machine Name".local] Final Cut Pro.app generated an error or unexpectedly quitUser aborted Media Server. Then it tries to cancel the export but just sits there until I either Force Quit FCP, stop sharing in Apple Qmaster or restart the machine. Should this be working as far as sending FCP projects to compressor for export, or will it only work by bringing in an already exported file? Anyone have any ides or suggestions?

  • FCP EXPORT TO COMPRESSOR AND HAVE IT BATCHED & FREE-UP FCP POSSIBLE?

    Hi all, I am selecting all my sequences in FCP, then choosing export to compressor, then submitting the job. The job is batched (appears in Batch Monitor) but I am returned to FCP only to watch a frame by frame compressor processing window, and I can't use FCP until the jobs are done.
    Is there a way to free up FCP so I can work while the batched jobs process? Perhaps this is due to the fact that I have embedded motion projects on the timeline? Well, help here is appreciated, perhaps I can save hours of downtime! cheers,
    coocoo

    Coocoo
    When you export through Compressor directly from your timeline, Compressor use the raw data from each timeline frame to encode. That's because it needs to refer constantly to FCP.
    Hope that helps !

  • Is Compressor as good as FCP export?

    If I select Best Quality 4:3 90 Minutes
    how do I tweak it further
    and/or is this akin to
    Final Cut's ability to export MPEG-2
    with 2-Pass VBR, 7.5 + Mbps, Best Motion Quality
    option that seems to have been discontinued?
    thanks

    Hey Evan,
    from my calulations, you would need to encode your 90 min. movie at an average rate of 6.3 Mbps to fit on a dvd-5 (and thats assuming you are using .ac3 for audio @ 192 [stereo]).
    but to answer your question, i would much rather use compressor than the export option in FCP, although technically it does use the compressor engine because of the control you have in compressor over FCP export.
    think of it like using iMovies for editing vs. FCP.

  • Scp works when logging with my user id but fails when using another one

    Hello all:
    I wrote a script that uses scp to transfer specific local files to a server. The script takes the user id and password and pass them as scp's parameters for authentication.
    Everything works fine when I uses my own user id to test the script but it fails when I used another id (with ligitimate password) to do the same thing.
    I suspect it's a privilege issue. Both ids belong to the same group. Where should I look to fingure this out?
    Thanks,
    John

    SCP is part of SSH. SSH requires the exchange of authorization keys to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
    When you log in the first time you may see a prompt like:
    RSA key fingerprint is 98:2e:d7:e0:de:9f:ac:67:28:d2:42:2e:37:16:58:45.
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
    This might be where your script fails. Since it prompts only the first time, you may just have to do one interactive SSH login to create an entry in ~/.ssh/known_hosts
    Or setup User equivalence to omit the exchange of passwords.

  • 802.1X PEAP fails when using special characters in login

    I am using MS AD & NPS for 802.1X Enterprise authentication with PEAP (no client certificate - MS-CHAPv2 user credentials for login). This works fine for iOS devices on 8.1 (iPhone 5 and iPad mini) and 6.1.6 (iPhone 3GS) when the user has standard "English" ASCII characters in the username and password.
    However, when I introduce Unicode special accented characters in the login name or password such as French é/ù or Spanish ñ then after accepting the server cert authentication fails with "Incorrect username or password for <WLAN name>". Windows 7 and CentOS 6.5 laptops have no problem authenticating to the same setup with either "English" credentials or ones with special accented characters. I also tried an old iPod touch on ancient software version and that fails, so its not something recently introduced.
    I tried using a different access point (TP-Link instead of Ruckus) and had exactly the same issue, so highly unlikely this is an AP issue.
    Then I setup FreeRadius with and see exactly the same issue, so its highly unlikely to be a MS AD/NPS issue.
    When comparing a working/failed authentication Wireshark packet capture on the NPS server, I see the failed attempt is missing the last 4 packets in the authentication exchange. The last packet sent is an Access-Challenge from the NPS server and no response from the iOS device, so the NPS server never even sends an Access-Reject. The iOS device appears to have decided it can't resolve the special characters and terminates the authentication attempt.
    To me this seems to be an Apple iOS software deficiency when using Unicode special characters in the username or password for 801.2X authentication?

    which helps to this error but then you have to undeploy you application and restart the server before you can deploy the application again.
    This slows down the development of applications and in addition of that when your environment has two portal applications it is impossible to deploy both applications in that environment.
    Is there any solution for this kind of problems ? Or do we have wrong configuration or librarys in our environment ?

  • ThinkVanta​ge Update Retriever Fails when trying to Export Drivers

    Hello, I am working on setting up MDT as a replacement for Ghost, I found the ThinkVantage Update Retriever and was happy to see I could download drivers easily. I was even impressed to see that I could extract them all at once rather then one by one. The problem is I try to extract the driver (in the case for the L520) and they all fail with "Failed: Extraction error". I would love to use this option since I need to set driver repositories for 10 or so models (and growing) and doing them all by hand would be - time consuming. If there is anything needed please let me know. PoisonStorm

    Where are you specifying the folder to extract to?
    Are you selecting all L520 updates?
    When using MDT with Update Retriever, I would suggest only extracting ethernet and chipset packages and importing those into your task sequence.  For everything else, I would use Thin Installer to install just the appropriate packages pulled from your Update Retriever repository.  As mentioned in a previous post the TVT Admin Tools page has the System Update Deployment Guide v4 which describes how to use Thin Installer.  There is also a paper that describes integrating with MDT here:

  • Import Fails When Using Transport Manager ID

    Hi Experts,
    When carrying out an import request in NWDI in Change Management Service under
    'Consolidation' with an ID (ztesttpt) which has been assigned only 'NWDI.Operator' Role
    we are getting the below errors and import fails.
    'TCSDeployException_Communication: Server cdbaxd08 did not accept
    login request as apiadmin on port 50018'
    'Caller ztesttpt not authorized, only role administrators is allowed to access JMX'
    Note that as per the SAP NWDI document 'How To setup NWDI Permissions and Roles', we
    have assigned the following actions to the 'NWDI.Operator' Role.
    CBS.Administrator
    CMS.CriticalFunctions
    CMS.Display
    CMS.Transport
    However, when using the ID 'nwdi_cmsadm' (which has FULL authorizations) to do the import
    there is no issue.
    Is there any additional actions/roles that need to be assigned to the ztesttpt ID?
    Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.

  • Introspection Failed when using FBean.Register_Bean() and JInitiator

    I am posting this for the benefit of others who might run into it when using the 'enhanced JavaBeans support' in Forms 9i. Under certain circumstances, an FBean.Register_Bean() might silently fail.
    Those circumstances include:

If you do this, you might get output like the following in JInitator's console.

  • BK Precision device works in VISA test panel but fails when using driver

    I am trying to control a BK Precision XLN power supply.  I have set it up as a TCPIP VISA instrument using sockets (port 5025).  It validates fine in NI MAX, and when using the VISA test panels I can write to and read from it (although I get a timeout error on the read if I specify too many bytes).  When I use the supplied instrument driver blocks in LV, VISA read commands always timeout and fail to return anything, regardless of how many bytes are specified.

    I don't think it is a VXI-11/LXI instrument, it did not autodetect and I had to use the 'Manual Entry of Raw Socket' option to set up the device.  I am sending  a termination on the write (\n), if I don't send a termination on the read it captures the read but then gives a timeout error if waiting for more bytes, if I use a termination cahracter on the read it functions as you would expect, except that it returns multiple termination characters (line or carriage feeds) in some messages so you would have to perform multiple reads to get the whole message.  (this is all in the test panels, I haven't gotten anything back using the VISA blocks in a VI)
    Given that behaviour it seems more like what you would get using a telnet terminal interface but even given that I still am confused why I can talk to it with the test panel and not using the VISA blocks in a VI. 
    Thanks,
    Stearns
